Eve Lost Her Spiritual Voice But Jesus Christ Gave It Back To Her!
As mankind prods through life suffering one calamity after another one has to ask why, if there is a God, is mankind so messed up? The reason goes all the way back to Adam and Eve and original sin. Most Christians and Jewish people believe that after Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden they were both cut off from God and subsequently thrown out of Paradise. While this is true there is much more to the story.
To understand our predicament fully one has to realize that sin not only disrupted man's relationship towards God, but it also disrupted his relationship with his surroundings.
Consider that Adam was the first person given dominion over this world by God, as Adam was created first. Then Eve was created next, for which she subsequently inherited this same dominion through Adam, as it is written that Eve was created from the 'rib' of Adam. So here you have both Adam and Eve having dominion over their surroundings in the Garden of Eden.
But when Eve listened to the Serpent, and sinned, Eve forfeited this dominion. For she now lowered herself to the level of the animal who had been given no dominion over this world whatsoever by God.
Right after Eve had sinned she acted as the animal did and tempted Adam (confirming that she had now become just like the serpent with a desire to spread sin). But since Eve was created from Adam, the temptation of Adam by Eve was if he were tempting himself.
Eve tempting Adam was human to human temptation while the Serpent's temptation of Eve was animal to human temptation. So even though Adam had followed Eve and sinned, Adam didn't follow the actual sinful words of the serpent. For Eve had changed the words. Therefore Adam was still able to retain his status as a 'human', and keep his dominion over his surroundings, even after his sin.
If Adam had gone directly to the serpent to verify Eve's claim, and the serpent repeated the same sinful temptation, then Adam would have suffered the same fate as Eve. Both would then have lost their dominion over their surroundings becoming just another animal.
As it were, Adam retained his dominion over his surroundings after his sin, whereas Eve did not. But Adam did suffer God's punishment, and expulsion, just like Eve.
When God threw both Adam and Eve out of the garden of Eden, only Adam retained his dominion over his surroundings. Eve had lost her dominion over her surroundings because of the serpent's guile and deviousness. It's a pity Eve didn't verify the serpent's claim by going directly to God who had walked with both Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and made himself accessible for situations such as this.
Many people wonder why God did not give animals the ability to talk? It is because they were given no dominion over their surroundings. Therefore they (all the animals) cannot interject any false claim on their own, as the serpent did. While the Serpent did talk to Eve it had the help of Satan who possessed the Serpent and gave it a voice. Also notice that women are given no voice in the Bible. This is simply because Eve reduced herself to the level of the animals who cannot speak. So when Eve (representing all women) listened to the serpent, and sinned, she lowered herself to the level of an animal and therefore lost her 'spiritual voice' with God and man.
Only through the New Covenant of Jesus Christ (hint: baptism and communion) does the woman regain her spiritual voice with God, and man, and become as she was in the Garden of Eden with a dominion over her surroundings as God gave both men and women in the Garden of Eden!
Ultimately Satan desires this world as his own to fulfill his desire to be a God. God gave dominion over this world to Adam and Eve, not to Satan. Through the guile and deviousness of the serpent, Eve's dominion over this world was lost, but Adam still retained his. Satan now desires to nullify the man's dominion over this world as well. He has done this haphazardly by social, political, religious, and economic systems (hint: socialism, communism, Islam, homosexuality, etc.).
But ultimately it will be through the Antichrist that Satan will achieve total dominance over this world when all of mankind will accept the 'mark of the beast' thereby forfeiting their claim of dominion over this world which God had given mankind in the Garden of Eden. Satan would then be the supreme leader of this world as if he were God himself.
To sum it all up – Satan has been waging a war against all men all throughout history. For the man still retains dominion over his surrounding that Eve gave away by her sin in obeying the Serpent (who was only an animal). Satan's goal is to strip mankind, both male and female, from their dominion over this world. Eve (representing all women) gave away her share of her dominion in the Garden of Eden and Adam (representing all men) will give away his share during the Great Tribulation by receiving the mark of the beast who is represented as a Red Dragon (hint: another serpent, an animal!).
Read the book of Revelation Chapter 13!
If anyone desires a spiritual voice with God then just believe in God's son Jesus Christ and rest assured God is eagerly waiting to have a loving conversation with you that will last for eternity!
God Bless
